Note from Amy: While I’m working on my DaySpring review, editing a post that will appear later this week, and gathering material for Friday Faves, I hope you enjoy this article by my friend, Christa Banister, about Kari Jobe. Kari is an incredibly talented artist whose dynamic voice really packs a punch. And I shouldContinue reading “Kari Jobe: Where I Find You”

I am LOVED by Plumb!!!
Look! Look! I’m loved by Plumb! And not just “loved” but “hearted”! Lately, I’ve been overwhelmed (in a good way) by the exciting things happening in the Christian music world–the undeading of my beloved Five Iron Frenzy, Jason Gray’s “Remind Me Who I Am” hitting #1 on iTunes (don’t forget to enter the giveway!), discoveringContinue reading “I am LOVED by Plumb!!!”
Friday Faves: Snow Globe Living Edition
I’ve been going back and forth on bringing back Friday Faves. Am I ready? What if I do it this Friday and not next Friday? I mean, do I even have any readers left besides my mother? Then I thought, if you write it, they will come. So I fooled around on Facebook for aContinue reading “Friday Faves: Snow Globe Living Edition”
GIVEAWAY!!! Jason Gray’s “Remind Me Who I Am” is #1 on iTunes!
Wednesdays are killer, right? Last weekend is a distant memory and this weekend seems like it will never arrive. And to make matters worse, we’re in the holiday season—shopping, decorating, baking, avoiding Salvation Army bell ringers. I love the Salvation Army and all they do, but I could do without the bell ringers. I wishContinue reading “GIVEAWAY!!! Jason Gray’s “Remind Me Who I Am” is #1 on iTunes!”
I’m thankful for two Jason’s and a Josh!
A musician’s life isn’t easy. Just because musicians are doing what they love, crafting music is a job just like any other. First, there’s the writing process—lyric after lyric, chord progression after chord progression, organizing the percussion, changing up vocals. Then comes the recording process, which is more organization, changing, and take after endless take. Continue reading “I’m thankful for two Jason’s and a Josh!”
Take 5 with Jenny & Tyler (Music)
When I first heard Jenny & Tyler, I was feeling overwhelmed by the bland music surrounding me. Jenny & Tyler’s smooth vocals, fresh lyrics, and folk/pop style instantly excited me. There was an unexplainable synergy between the duo and I picked up on that immediately. Jenny (of Jenny & Tyler) shares about the duo’s latestContinue reading “Take 5 with Jenny & Tyler (Music)”

An Open Letter to the Gospel Music Association
Dear GMA (Gospel Music Association), For years, I’ve watched the Dove Awards with interest. When I was a teenager, I eagerly devoured your suggestions on artists. But I’ve become increasingly dissatisfied with your “product.” It seems like good artists get ignored while the same musicians keep getting awards, not necessarily for producing amazing albums, butContinue reading “An Open Letter to the Gospel Music Association”
Music Review:: See You by Josh Wilson
If music is the universal language, then Josh Wilson is a master linguist. Once again, Wilson produces a delectable masterpiece with his latest studio release, See You. The album’s title track, “See You,” talks about “seeing” the hands of God, even when they’re not evident in the life’s mire. The whole album, really, is aboutContinue reading “Music Review:: See You by Josh Wilson”
Hitchhiking with singer/songwriter Bebo Norman
It was with great anxiety and distress I awaited Bebo Norman’s scheduled phone call the morning after Labor Day. Normally, I’m not like this, but then again, it’s not every day that I get to interview one of the singer/songwriters who has been so influential in my life. The phone rang and I said aContinue reading “Hitchhiking with singer/songwriter Bebo Norman”
